- Throughout the history of the Church, God has raised up men and women to boldly
proclaim the Gospel message of salvation and communicate its truths to others.
These people-often times uneducated yet devout believers-lived intense lives
of prayer and penance and devoted themselves completely to the service of Christ
and His Church. By their inspiring words and heroic witness, they made an unbelievable
impact on others and inspired fellow Christians to greater lives of holiness.

God's Instrument
of Healing, Unity & Peace

- In this exciting
new six-tape (or CD) series, St. Catherine of Siena: Growing in Love, Ralph
Martin will introduce you to one such special person. The twenty-third of twenty-four
children, St. Catherine exerted incredible influence on the Church of the Fourteenth
Century. And although she was only a laywoman, God made use of St. Catherine
to persuade Pope Gregory XI to leave France and return to Rome, and also to
direct kings and queens to use their authority for the good of others.

Spiritual Dialogue

- A well-known
author and speaker, Ralph Martin closely examines Catherine's spiritual doctrine
as revealed in her great work, The Dialogue. Through this excellent explanation
of St. Catherine's life and spirituality, you'll discover spiritual tools to
come to a greater understanding of such topics as Heaven and Hell, growth in
virtue, conversion, struggle, growth in prayer, and the signs and fruits of
spiritual union. This great Doctor of the Church will enlighten your mind and
soul so that you might grow in virtue and deepen your commitment to a life of
holiness.

the Confusion of Our Times
